Tati, 25, is poor, unemployed and father of four. And Tati loves Maradona. He’s his hugest fan in all of Argentina. One day, he finds a tree root that looks just like his idol. When Maradona falls ill, Tati heads for Buenos Aires, to give his hero the root.
As the nation prays for Diego, Tati travels and makes friends along the way, as if touched by the grace of his mission.
After the marvelous Historias Minimas and Bombón El Perro, Sorin brings us a warm road movie about a man following his dream, and takes an affectionate look at Argentina, its people and above all, their undying devotion to their beloved hero, Diego “Hand of God†Maradona.
